Zhang Ting had previously objected to Zhang Keying becoming a forensic investigator. She believed a girl should find a good job, dress beautifully, marry well, have children, and raise a family. Not spend her days with corpses. He immediately added, "Isn't it just her stubbornness? When she was applying to university, she secretly changed her major from Computer Science and Fine Arts to Forensic Medicine."
Huh, I wouldn't have known that if Zhang Ting hadn't mentioned it. We hadn't seen each other in years. I remembered Zhang Keying as a very cute and inquisitive girl. My grandfather and Zhang Ting were friends, so I often visited Zhang Ting's house. I spent an entire summer there once. My parents were too busy with their police work to look after me, but my grandfather was just an advisor and had more free time. He took care of me all these years.
After my parents died, it was even more so. Zhang Keying and I lived together. We did everything together, from eating and drinking to sleeping. Every night, she would pull me along and ask me to tell her interesting detective stories. Noticing her twisting my arm, Liu Yuning’s eyes widened repeatedly. She had no idea what was happening, only that a girl had suddenly appeared beside me. She was very angry.
I didn't know how to explain to Liu Yuning. I had only proposed to her not long ago, and now this situation had arisen.
"He Sheng gege, why aren't you talking? Who is this old hag next to you, and why is she staring at you? Are you familiar with her?"
As Zhang Keying spoke, I felt incredibly awkward. I dared not look into Liu Yuning's eyes. At that moment, I saw bloodshot veins in her eyes, her hands clenched tightly, and her nostrils flared. It was already enough that Zhang Keying was twisting me like this, but she had also called Liu Yuning an "old hag." How could she not be angry?
I quickly went over and explained everything that had happened between Zhang Keying and me in the past. But Liu Yuning wouldn't listen. She stood up angrily, "You guys eat slowly. My stomach feels a bit unwell. That's all for today. Goodbye!"
After saying this to everyone, she left her seat and walked away without looking back. Gao Mingqiang and the others kept signaling me to chase after Liu Yuning, but I was too late. By the time I chased after her, she had already gotten into her car and driven off. Zhang Keying followed me out, grabbed my hand from behind, and said, "He Sheng gege, what's wrong with that old hag? Weren't we all eating fine? Why did she suddenly get angry?"
"There are some things I can't explain to you, but I can tell you that you've made a serious mistake. Do you know that Liu Yuning is my fiancée?"
"Gasp! How can that be? You have a wife so soon? Then what about me?"
"What about you? Keying, be careful what you say, or people will misunderstand."
Liu Yuning left like that. I felt like eating was pointless. Zhang Keying followed me out, comforting me from behind, saying that if I lost her, I still had her. I didn't hear any of it.
We wandered outside until very late before I drove home. Zhang Keying wanted to follow me, but I refused. I returned to the police dormitory alone and found that Liu Yuning had already fallen asleep. Or so I thought. As soon as I entered the room, my phone wouldn't stop ringing. I didn't expect her to be sending me frantic messages.
I initially tried to placate her, but eventually, after she cursed me a few times, my temper flared, and we started arguing on WeChat.
In the end, I said, "Liu Yuning, I wish you never have an orgasm!"
"I wish you impotence tomorrow."
Liu Yuning ended with this sentence, and we stopped our verbal attacks. That night, I lay in bed, unable to sleep. I kept feeling that Liu Yuning was being unreasonable. I had explained my relationship with Zhang Keying so many times, why did she insist on thinking those things?
The next day, I returned to the provincial department. Everything was as usual, except that someone's face seemed to deliberately avoid me, as if she didn't want to face me. Around 9 AM, two familiar figures suddenly appeared outside the office. It was Zhang Ting and Zhang Keying. Everyone's attention shifted, as if they knew what was about to happen. Only Liu Yuning glanced over dismissively.
"Members of the Crime Punishment Team, this is my Zhang Keying. You all know her identity. From today onwards, she will be a member of your team. Do you understand? This is my decision. Since she wants to be a forensic investigator, I'll arrange the best for you. Keying, you think so too, don't you!"
"Wherever He Sheng gege goes, I go!" As soon as Zhang Keying said this, Liu Yuning glanced over even more indignantly. However, given her status, she didn't dare to speak and could only glare at her.
Zhang Keying seemed to do it on purpose, glaring back. Thus, from the day Zhang Keying joined our Crime Punishment Team, the tension between them grew...
My name is He Sheng. I am currently a criminal investigation consultant in Fuming City Police Bureau. I graduated from the Forensic Medicine department. In fact, my grandfather was a coroner.
After Zhang Keying joined our Crime Punishment Team, I learned that she had an unfinished graduation trip. I initially thought, what does her graduation trip have to do with me? Unexpectedly, Zhang Ting found me alone and said, "He Sheng, Keying needs to go on a trip to Longhua Town in Gaogang City this time. As her leader, I command you to protect her well. Therefore, you will accompany her on this trip!"
"No way? But there are still so many things to handle at the department!"
"Don't worry, I've assigned the work to Liu Yuning. Your task is to protect my precious daughter. You know I'm divorced, and this daughter is my only treasure. I don't want to see anything happen to her. This trip is very important to her. After it's over, she will officially enter society and start working. So, I hope you can give her some beautiful memories during her last few days of study."
"Understood, Director Zhang. But can Captain Liu handle it alone?"
"Heh heh, are you afraid she'll be jealous? I've noticed lately that she's definitely misunderstood. Don't worry, I'll help you reason with her. Once things are explained clearly, she won't overthink things."
